From the model card, this supports near-field only speaker transcription, experimental but still something not available in any other OSS Speech LLM.

> Transcribe is built for recorded audio, not live streaming.

How is it for Japanese

You can use fast transcription on CPU these days, for free and with diarization. Check yapsnap https://github.com/kouhxp/yapsnap
